When girls curse rampantly.

I'll take girls that smoke for $500, Alex.







Would never date a smoker.

When you are in a long line for food, like at a fast food place or something, and someone ahead of you gets up to order and acts like this is the first time they've even considered what they want to get, so they take forever. If you are in line for 10 minutes it would make sense to figure it out then.

Also, people at the gym who do their curls or whatever exercise right in front of the dumbbell rack, so no one else can grab any of the dumbbells that are near them. You are at the gym, lifting weights to get stronger, it shouldn't be too much to ask for you to walk a few feet with your 30 lb dumbbells and do your exercise there.

Re: What is your biggest pet peeve?

Like today I wanted to show my friend how ugly and fat one girl got from high school when she used to be smoking hot but I can't since all her pictures were blocked.

This is just gold. I block mine to everyone except friends.

Sweat guy that slops up the machine and doesn't clean it should be shot.

Smoking in general, I hate it. It's nasty, unattractive, and unhealthy.
Whenever I find out someone that I know smokes, my respect for them instantly drops..doesn't matter who it is.

Re: What is your biggest pet peeve?

I hate when you are out on the highway and you are sitting behind someone who is going 15 below the speed limit and traffic is backing up WAAAYYYY back behind them. To make it worse you get to a slower speed area and rather than stay on the same speed that they were just going on they slow down even further to make sure they are still way below the speed limit. I'm like "i know you can do that speed YOU WERE JUST DOING IT 5 SECONDS AGO!!!"

People who are like that are just as dangerous as people who speed imo.

As a guy who tends to this...in fact just spent a 6 hour trip through the back roads of NC in the middle of the night doing it...I don't care how much it upsets people.

I'm going to drive the speed I feel comfortable going safely under the conditions I'm under. All the tailgating in the world isn't gonna change that.

I didn't know those roads and was mindful of my reaction time needed to react to deer/possums on the road...what was moronic was when people could easily pass me they didn't. They seemed to prefer stacking up behind me in the slow lane or despite my slow speed wouldn't pass when allowed. That makes it your problem...not mine.

If you have to drive 15 mph below the speed limit in good weather conditions because of your lack of reaction times you shouldn't be driving imo. I agree that if people don't overtake even if they have the chance to do so safely they are just as annoying but so is holding up every other car on the road.

I agree but there are exceptions. For example, when a person starts smoking at a young age because they were immature/naive, and tries to but fails quitting multiple times. I can understand cases like that.

People who do it in social situations or just because they like it piss me off. There is maybe one benefit, that being the "buzz" feeling it gives you. And there are too many negatives that outweigh that to consider smoking worth it whatsoever.

I don't see anything wrong with driving or driving below the speed limit, just do it in the right lane. If there's only one lane, chances are at some point you'll have an opportunity to pass.

The people that annoy me are the people who do a constant 15 mph over the speed limit. Those and the people whose speed fluctuates in a 20 mph range are the worst.

I usually do 5-10 over the speed limit unless the flow of traffic is going faster or slower. I hate when I'm in the right lane going above the speed limit and someone is on my ***. Then I slam on my brakes a few times.

Good thing your opinion doesn't matter that much to me when it comes to me and the occupants of my cars safety.

And I don't "lack" reaction time...I account for the extra time needed for the unexpected. At 3 AM on a windy road I've never been on in the deep country...Trying to hug the maximium speed limit would just be stupid of me or any other driver.

Ding ding! We have a winner. I totally agree with this post.

I really don't care what other people on the road think, I'll drive at the speed I feel most comfortable at(usually 5 under the limit although people around here like to all drive 10 above the limit)
If you tailgate me, I'll drive slower just to piss you off. Not my fault if you want to ride my bumper, either back off or deal with it.

Re: What is your biggest pet peeve?

Well, if the speed limit is 40 and they're going 35, they really aren't doing anything wrong as long as they're not in the passing (fast) lane and they aren't violating the minimum speed limit, if there is one. However, you usually only see minimum speeds posted on major interstate highways. I've never seen one in New Jersey.

This is true, but it's still a pet peeve of mine. Also, differential of speeds is very dangerous. On a 70 MPH interstate highway, when one person is going 55 MPH and another person is going 85 MPH, that is a dangerous situation with 30 MPH separating the speeds of the two cars.

And since most people don't use their cruise control for some reason, people will be driving 60 MPH one minute then 75 MPH another minute, which drives me crazy.
